This quantity can be used to compute the hypervolume of a simplex with its Cayley-Menger variety, and Hadamard's inequality attempts to find the largest possible value of this quantity, which can also be calculated with the rule of Sarrus. Linear independence of a function can be determined using the Wronskian type of this value, while eigenvalues can be computed by setting it to zero. [*] Cramer's rule uses this value to find the solution of a system of equations. This value can be found with minor expansion and when this value is zero, the matrix in question is singular. For 10 points, name this quantity that for a two-by-two matrix is a d minus b c.
